Not sure if it will help with this problem, but I had issues with the
sa,e headset capturing and blocking either mouse or keyboard input
(somewhat randomly) and sending out phantom keystrokes/mouse inputs. I
noticed some posts about a different brand headset that indicated that
the device presents itself both as an audio as well as a HID
(keyboard/mouse) device. Ostensibly to allow the buttons to work. And
apparently Xorg does not play well with that. Too late to cut a long
story short - but here is a work around that works for me:

Create a file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ named 50-jabra-pro-930.conf
(or similar) with the following contents:

# GR - 13/10/2015 - switch input off on Jabra headset
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier   "Jabra PRO 930 problems"
        MatchProduct "GN Netcom A/S Jabra PRO 930"
        Option       "Ignore" "true"
EndSection

HTH,
Ger

Title:
  [USB-Audio - Jabra PRO 930, recording] Recording problem

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am having a problem with my Jabra PRO 930 USB headset working with
  Ubuntu. I thought there might be issues when under Sound Settings, the
  headset is listed under the Output Tab but is not listed under the
  Input tab. See attached pictures.

  However, the headset does seem to work briefly, as long as audio is
  being played out. I have noticed that as long as the other side is
  talking or audio is coming in for at least 5 secs, the headset works
  perfectly. But if the other side mutes or stops talking (like
  listening to me talk), the headset cuts off completely until audio is
  detected again.

  This is not a problem with the headset. My wife bought the same
  headset and is using it with her Windows 7 system. I swapped headsets
  and the problem persisted on my Ubuntu 12.10 system.

  I use Google Talk, Google+ Hangouts and Skype and have the issue with
  all applications.

  Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help or what
  information I can provide.
